Answer 6

Based on the information in the excerpt, what can be inferred about the effect the war between France and England had on the United States? I chose A and B Select all that apply.



Once again, Americans called for war, this time against France. To avoid war, Adams sent diplomats to Paris to discuss the rights of neutral nations. The French foreign minister, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, did not deal directly with the Americans. Instead, he sent three agents to offer the Americans a deal. Before Talleyrand would even begin talks, the agents said, he wanted $250,000 for himself and a $10 million loan to France. “Not a sixpence!” replied one of the Americans angrily. (A sixpence was a British coin worth six pennies.)

Many Americans were outraged when news reached them about the XYZ Affair in 1798. (The affair had taken place in 1797, but it took time for news to cross the ocean by ship.) They took up the slogan, “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!” They were willing to spend money to defend their country, but they would not pay a bribe to another nation.

The XYZ Affair ignited war fever in the United States. Despite strong pressure, Adams refused to ask Congress to declare war on France. Like Washington, he wanted to keep the country out of European affairs. However, he could not ignore French attacks on American ships, so he strengthened the navy by building frigates, fast-sailing ships with many guns. That move helped convince France to stop attacking American ships.

Answer 7

Based on the provided excerpt, the following inferences can be made about the effect the war between France and England had on the United States:

1. The attacks on American shipping vessels led to a build-up of an American naval force.
   This option is supported by the excerpt, which mentions that President Adams strengthened the navy in response to French attacks on American ships.

2. The unwillingness of the French to negotiate brought about a time period of distrust of the French Directory.
   This inference aligns with the outrage expressed by Americans regarding the XYZ Affair, wherein the French foreign minister's agents demanded bribes before negotiations could begin. This created animosity and distrust toward France.

So, the correct choices according to the text are:

• The attacks on American shipping vessels led to a build-up of an American naval force.
• The unwillingness of the French to negotiate brought about a time period of distrust of the French Directory.

The other options regarding Congress's functionality and the war’s effect on trade with Europe do not have sufficient support from the excerpt provided. If you need any more help or clarification, feel free to ask!
